That's great, thanks Nick.  :D

Not sure I'd be able to resist a faction of steampunk peelers.

Nick

Would it be possible to see a comp picture with Artizan minis to compare sizewise?

Thanks

Precisely my biggest gripe  >:( >:(  I neither want it or to pay for it and as you so nicely put, its not exactly going to be easy to sell on is it!!

Actually I'd consider the yeti if you don't want it.

I really like several of those figures, but don't really want to have to buy 11 or 12 figures to get the 4 or 5 I want  :(

Which ones do you want?
I'm thinking of ordering next month - no council tax so some free funds - and would probably be willing to split a pck.

<snip>There have been box sets since I was a wee lad buying figures with my pocket money. I bought them. I bought those Grendier box sets, the Halfling and the Dwarfs, cardboard with artwork on the front. And the early Citadel sets, Runequest and Traveller. Stop being hard on us.

<snip>
"Stop being hard on us."  I didn't see any icons indicating humor so I will proceed as if that was serious request.

My response to that statement?  

Hardly.   :-[   >:(  [Grouchy from a day of particularly obtuse to stupid decisions by our "leadership" in the USA Intel Community at work]

I did not see any posts that were anything potential customers expressing preferences.   :?  Positive responses about the figures  :D but personal requests for a future packaging option.   8)

In my case,  :) consider my interests a very positive comment.  I stopped buying 25+ mm sized figures this year except for the rare Ral Partha Lizard Riders (Ebay) and occassional Der Kriegspieler Dwarves/Goblins (Ebay and the person who has the molds/rights but casts as a personal love of the miniatures/hobby) completely.  

And those are on a tight leash as of today.

It's a very small number of figures I will be buying other than the above and 1/600th scale stuff (Yes, no more Baccus figures even,) between now and retirement (Good Lord willing in 2016,) and indeed most of what I have now is slated to be sold off over that period.

Your figures are some of the best in many cases, I just want some of the figures for niche things (Like Spanish on Venus characters.)

Gracias,

Glenn

if you just forgot the emoticons/smileys indicating humor (humour) then skip most of the above   o_o

Just to be sure I got the 'Nickstarter' thingy right (IMO: a far less hypocritical way to do than to use some other 'starter' to raise funds. I'm definitely like it):

You have 3 levels considering the amount of money once spend in the game (R1: a set + rules, R2: 2 sets + rules, R3: 4 sets + rules). Each level offers you a chance to gain an extra miniature cummulatively, and goal 1 also helps providing a new set.
Now the goals are connected to the total amount of money you raise that way, each level enabling an extra figure for everyone placing an order from R1. So, if I'm correct, would you raise £48001 (hope so), someone ordering a set + rules (R1) would gain a total of 6 free (exclusive) miniatures (R2 get 7 minis, R3 8minis)?

Thanks Gary. That's very kind of you to offer. But I think I'd best wait to take a look at the figures in the flesh before taking the plunge  :)

I must say, perhaps it's my eyes, but the Yeti seemed ok to me (though it's a shame it's not a closer match to the Copplestone pair...) Though I think you have turned me against his boyish goodlooks now

Damn their making them is flesh, wow hard to paint...  ;)

It has nothing to do with the quality of the model, it is just too fantastical for "my" world, just as the zombies are too dead so I do not want one.  Gary has shown that perhaps I could move it on so I may dip for the Chinese set.

Okay, like I said, ignore the comments that are not applicable.

You still have some excellent figures I would buy as singles (and there are not a lot of exceptions I am allowing myself as of this year.)

Gracias,

Glenn
